Yogi, we're getting there: " SoftBook adds automatic content download" Users of the $299 SoftBook Reader, an electronic device which holds text, will be able to automatically download the content of various Time Inc. (TWX: news, msgs) and Ziff-Davis (ZD: news, msgs) magazines. SoftBook Press chairman James Sachs said, "We have a vision of electronic publishing that includes much more than just paperback books," as he announced deals to make available PC Magazine, The Industry Standard, Fortune and other publications. The company also said users can download content automatically by plugging the Reader into a phone line at night and having the device's built-in modem gather the data.
